I have no experience with them but have thought about getting them. I would try and email summit and see if the instructions were accidentally left out and if they have them to send or email to you. My buddy bought some "bolt-in" seats for his 78 camaro and come to find out he has to cut his floor pan and weld in a channel for the new bracket to sit in. See if you can reuse your old sliders on them. Other than that I dont know what else to say. Wish I could be some more help.

Take the old seat brackets off and put them on the new seats. You might have to drill a new hole in the old seat bracket to line up with the hole on the new seat. Try to bolt the two top holes of the old bracket to the new seat and scribe a mark where the holes are on the lower part of the new seat on to the old seat bracket and drill both holes and it should bolt right up. Did summit say the seats are a direct fit?

I purchased the brackets. The bolts match up both directions but neither way looks like a snug fit. Just trying to find somebody with the seats to find out if the larger side is in the front or back.
